TRAINING CDS Designed for use as a tool in industrial, research, government, and medicinal labs, CD-ROMs include several hours' worth of live-action video training on correctly performing lab techniques; each CD contains between three and eight topics, totaling about 30 minutes of video. Savant, http://www.savant4training.com BIOTECH & GENETICS ALMANAC Serving as a reference guide to the business side of biotechnology, genetics, proteomics, and related services, book contains profiles of leading companies; in-depth chapters on trends in biotech, technology, finances, and careers; and a handy glossary and thorough indexes. Plunkett Research, http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/6768 Instruments and labware
MOISTURE ANALYZERS With a program that obviates the need for a tedious trial-and-error process for determining optimum temperature and time for quick and accurate analyses, analyzers are equipped with a 400-W halogen lamp; systems display moisture content to 0.01 or 0.1%. A&D Weighing, http://www.andweighing.com FTIR SPECTROMETER For general-purpose spectroscopy, QA/QC measurements, and service lab and academic applications, instrument features 0.5-cm-1 resolution, a choice of several detectors, and a generous sample compartment for easy access. MIDAC, http://www.midac.com HPLC DETECTOR Providing universal detection of nonvolatile compounds, evaporative light-scattering detector uses a high-intensity polychromatic light source and high-sensitivity photomultiplier; offers high-peak resolution; and accommodates aqueous and organic mobile phases at high flow rates. ESA, http://www.esainc.com ULTRASONIC SPECTROMETER Designed to analyze a raft of materials such as pastes, waxes, fats, gels, suspensions, and emulsions, instrument measures properties such as molecular structural changes, elasticity, thermal transitions, and aggregations; technical parameters include a frequency range from 2.5 to 18 MHz and a temperature range from -20 to 120 °C. Ultrasonic Scientific, http://www.ultrasonic-scientific.com CIRCULATORS Space-saving refrigerated units are available in four styles and feature 6-L reservoirs, operating temperatures as high as 200 ¯C, excellent temperature stability, rapid response heaters, and 20 ¯C cooling capacity. Polyscience, http://www.polyscience.com Plant equipment and materials
MIXER For improving the wetting of solid particles and the dispersion of high-solid contents, system provides a controlled process environment where finely dispersed powders come in contact with a large liquid surface and are wetted under shear. Netzsch, http://www.netzschusa.com |
